Where does the money go?

In your search for donations to help the March of Dimes many people question how the money will help North Dakota. All of the money raised in North Dakota stays in North Dakota to help moms and babies in our state. Baby Alex is a great illustration of how your donations are improving the health of babies every day.
Every bit helps!

Welcome

The season of March for Babies is once again upon us. My name is Amelia and I will be working specifically with family teams. I have been a volunteer since my high school days in FCCLA, and have continued my involvement through my college days at NDSU where I am currently a senior.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The first step is to register for your March. You can register online at www.marchforbabies.com. If you had a team last year, you can just log in with that same information. After that, set you goals and start recruiting team members.

Throughout the journey to help give every baby a healthy start if you have any questions or concerns or just need someone to bounce ideas off feel free to email me (Afelz@marchofdimes.com) or call me at (701) 552-9180.

ND Fact of the week:
The rate of prematurity is on the rise. Between 1995 and 2005, the rate of infants born preterm in North Dakota increased nearly 14%.
